I have yet to decide on the default bit-depth for UI widgets, mostly torn between 16-color and 256-color. Probably don't need high bit-depths for "text and widgets" windows, but may need more than 16-color. Also

When I write documents I have a favorite set of pastel colors I use to
shade boxes, arrows, and text. I draw the figures first and then fill in
the text later. To give the eye an easy means to go from reading the text to looking at a figure and finding the discussed item, I place a box around

as the R-G-V values in the *.jpg figure, too; but they are close enough
to avoid "figuring it out and trying to fix it to perfection.}}

TBD which color palette to use in the case if 256 color is used (the

256 is OK enough for DOOM games, but not for professional documentation.
